OET, the Occupational English Test, is an English test for health professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re worried about missing a date, your next action is simple: open the booking page on <a href=\"http:\/\/oet.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">oet.com<\/a>. That&#8217;s where every real test date and its closing date sit. A booking closing date is the last day you can book a given test date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our full <a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/oet-exam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OET exam guide<\/a> covers fees, eligibility, and the test pattern, so this page sticks to dates. The fee is about INR 39,300 (AUD 587) for every mode, whichever date you pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The fee is converted at 1 AUD = INR 66.93 as of October 2026 and will shift with the exchange rate, so check the latest rate before you pay.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you pick from the OET exam dates India nurses and doctors can book, check one thing. A regulator is the official body in your target country that registers nurses or doctors and chooses which English tests it accepts. Its deadline is the one you&#8217;re really working to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-8d3ae8f\" id=\"how-does-oet-schedule-its-test-dates-for-each-mode\" data-block-id=\"8d3ae8f\"><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">How does OET schedule its test dates for each mode?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OET on Paper is the test on paper at a venue, with all four parts on one day, and it runs on Saturdays. The Global table, which is OET&#8217;s table headed &#8220;Global,&#8221; lists 24 paper Saturdays in 2026. The other two modes work differently:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>OET on Computer:<\/strong> Listening, Reading, and Writing at a venue, then Speaking online from home on another day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>OET@Home:<\/strong> the test on your own computer at home, offered where no venue is available or with OET&#8217;s approval.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the table one row at a time; each row is one mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Mode<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>How often dates appear<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Professions<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Bookings close<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Results<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>OET on Paper<\/td><td>24 Saturdays in 2026, mostly two weeks apart<\/td><td>7; alternate dates list only Nursing and Medicine<\/td><td>24 days before (subject to change)<\/td><td>As little as 5 days in India<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>OET on Computer<\/td><td>Many; the table listed 100 from March to July 2026<\/td><td>All 12<\/td><td>7 days before<\/td><td>As little as 48 hours; 95 percent within 6 calendar days<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>OET@Home<\/td><td>Where no venue is available, or with OET approval<\/td><td>All 12<\/td><td>7 days before<\/td><td>Same as computer<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What this means for you:<\/strong> if your regulator accepts both paper and computer, computer gives far more dates. Paper gaps stretch to three weeks three times a year, so one missed Saturday can cost you up to 21 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most searches for OET exam dates in India include both these paper Saturdays and the computer dates. If your regulator also accepts IELTS, the <a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/exams\/ielts\/dates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IELTS exam dates<\/a> follow a separate calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-2080173\" id=\"where-do-you-find-official-oet-exam-dates-indian-candidates-can-trust\" data-block-id=\"2080173\"><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">Where do you find official OET exam dates Indian candidates can trust?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only official source is the Test dates section of OET&#8217;s booking page, which shows a Global computer table and two paper tables. Skip the Americas paper table: it lists Friday dates for that region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Every row in the Global tables carries four fields:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Test date:<\/strong> the day you sit the test.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Book between:<\/strong> the booking window; it ends on the closing date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Result published:<\/strong> the date OET publishes results for that sitting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Professions available:<\/strong> which profession versions run that day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Already booked? On OET&#8217;s booking management page, go to test dates and locations, select your test type and country, and find your booking to see its closing date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tables aren&#8217;t labelled by country. So, the OET exam dates that candidates in India rely on need one more check: use &#8220;Search for a test near you&#8221; to see which venues in India run that date. OET&#8217;s Test Regulations ask you to check mode, profession, country, and venue availability before booking, and seats are subject to availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the page, the last computer date shown was Thursday, 23 July 2026, so check the booking search for current computer dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Searching for OET exam dates in India often brings up copied lists first. Some mix the Friday and Saturday series or show result dates that come before the test. Treat any OET exam dates on the India list outside oet.com as a hint, not a plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>My insight:<\/em><\/strong> <em>Check the oet.com row for your exact date before you pay, because OET marks closing dates as subject to change, and a copied list won&#8217;t update when one moves.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-10731db\" id=\"what-do-oet-paper-test-dates-look-like-for-the-rest-of-2026\" data-block-id=\"10731db\"><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">What do OET paper test dates look like for the rest of 2026?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read on 29 October 2026. The OET&#8217;s Global OET Test on Paper table ends on Saturday, 19 December 2026, and lists no 2027 date. It isn&#8217;t labelled by country, so confirm your venue in India through the booking search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Each row below comes from that table:<\/strong> the test date, the last booking day, the published result date, and the professions on offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Test date<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Booking closes<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Result published<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Professions<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Saturday, 5 December 2026<\/td><td>Wednesday, 11 November 2026<\/td><td>Tuesday, 22 December 2026<\/td><td>Nursing, Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Radiography, Veterinary Science<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Saturday 19 December 2026<\/td><td>Wednesday 25 November 2026<\/td><td>Tuesday, 5 January 2027<\/td><td>Nursing and Medicine<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On 29 October 2026, OET&#8217;s table showed two paper dates open for booking:<\/strong> Saturday, 5 December 2026 (booking closes Wednesday, 11 November 2026), and Saturday, 19 December 2026 (closes Wednesday, 25 November 2026). The earlier one closes first, so 11 November is your real deadline if 5 December suits you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bookings for the Saturday 7 November 2026 test closed on 14 October 2026, and bookings for Saturday 21 November 2026 closed on 28 October 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result date in the table is the Global one. OET also says paper candidates tested in India can get results in as little as 5 days, an indicative time, so check the date shown for your booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These two rows are the OET exam dates that paper candidates in India can still aim for in 2026. If neither works, the next OET exam dates India candidates need are 2027 rows, which weren&#8217;t listed on 29 October 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-7ac68e9\" id=\"how-do-oet-booking-closing-dates-and-result-dates-work\" data-block-id=\"7ac68e9\"><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">How do OET booking closing dates and result dates work?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OET&#8217;s rule is that paper bookings close 24 days before the test date, subject to change, while computer and OET@Home bookings close 7 days before. Closing dates matter more than test dates when you read OET exam dates in India listings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For computer and OET@Home, the cutoff is 11:59 PM UTC. UTC, or Coordinated Universal Time, is the world reference clock OET uses. India is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead, so that cutoff is at 5:29 AM India time the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Use these worked rows to turn a test date into your deadlines:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Case<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Rule<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Worked example<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Paper booking, first December date<\/td><td>Closes 24 days before (subject to change); the printed row wins<\/td><td>Saturday, 5 December 2026, closes Wednesday, 11 November 2026<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Paper booking, second December date<\/td><td>Same rule, same caveat<\/td><td>Saturday, 19 December 2026, closes Wednesday, 25 November 2026<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Computer or OET@Home booking<\/td><td>Closes 7 days before, 11:59 PM UTC<\/td><td>The past Monday, 2 March 2026 test closed for booking on Monday, 23 February 2026<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Paper result in India<\/td><td>As little as 5 days, indicative<\/td><td>Test on Saturday, 5 December 2026: India results from Thursday, 10 December, at the earliest; the Global table prints Tuesday, 22 December<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Computer result<\/td><td>As little as 48 hours; 95 percent within 6 calendar days<\/td><td>The Monday, 2 March 2026, test was given a published result date of Friday, 13 March 2026<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What this information means for you:<\/strong> plan to the result date printed in OET&#8217;s table, and treat a faster result as a bonus. In that past computer row, the published date was 11 days after the test. All OET result times are indicative and can slip around public holidays and the year end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apply the same arithmetic to any OET exam dates India candidates find in the booking search. The fee is charged in Australian dollars, so set up your <a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/forex-cards-for-indian-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forex card<\/a> or bank payment a few days before the cutoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>My insight:<\/em><\/strong> <em>Count back from the result date in OET&#8217;s table, not from the 48-hour best case, because once the closing date passes, a change costs more and the earlier dates are gone.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-bdb96aa\" id=\"how-far-ahead-should-you-plan-oet-test-dates-around-a-deadline\" data-block-id=\"bdb96aa\"><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">How far ahead should you plan OET test dates around a deadline?<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Booking for the whole 2026 paper calendar was opened on 10 September 2025, so OET publishes dates long before their closing dates. You can book early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Planning backward means you start from the date your regulator or employer needs your result, then subtract each step. Do this before you check OET exam dates on the India pages for a slot:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ask your regulator first:<\/strong> which modes and scores it accepts and by when.

Instead, plan for the result date printed in OET&#8217;s table.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1793602494594\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>How much does OET cost in India?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>OET costs INR 39,300 (AUD 587) in India, the same fee for paper, computer, and OET@Home. Changing your date incurs a fee of INR 8,000 (AUD 120) before the closing date and INR 13,400 (AUD 200) after, so check your deadline before selecting from the OET exam dates in India listings.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1793602515924\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What should I do if my OET date doesn&#8217;t suit my deadline?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>To minimize costs, consider moving your booking before the closing date when the change fee is lower, or look for another venue or mode that your regulator accepts. Then ask your regulator whether it can wait for a later result, and count back again before you scan OET exam dates India listings.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\"><\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 11<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">min read<\/span><\/span>\u26a1 Quick Read OET paper tests run on Saturdays about every two weeks.
